Nope.

I cant imagine why anyone would want to use that, its hopeless.

You mean the cookie based marking system? All of the users (myself included) prefer this way, which might be because we've been using it for so long. Oh well.

Yes, I did.


Then Im afraid you cannot use the unread part of this mod.

How on earth is cookie based marking preferable? It's almost never correct!

Perhaps it was a problem with some other setting/variable/installation but on my site we were getting 5 days of posts coming up as What's New/New Posts even when members had already looked at them. The inactivity/cookie based system is easy as it shows only what has been posted since your last visit. Seems simple to me. I don't know, I think it's strange that people would want it the other way, hah.

No problem Paul. I thought this would be my replacement for the "Welcome box" module that we used to have on vB3 with vBadvanced. That's ok though.

Hey Paul,

Back in vb 3.8, this hack used to show

"Unread posts since your last visit" on a different background, with a text saying these are posts unread from your last visit. Beforre in vb 3.8, there was a division between posts unread in the last 24 hours and another division for all other random unread posts.

While now, there is no text showing on the top before each unread thread listings. All the unread posts just shows up. I have all the recommended options turned on.

Automatic Database thread marking
Use Last Visit Date

That was a feature of vbulletin, not this mod. It does not exist in vb4.

This is one of my favorite mods but a new style I installed seemed to eliminate it showing in the upper right corner.

I'm not sure how to make this work with my new style, it works on all the others, suggestions?

Have you read the bold brown note in the main post ?

Yep, and I don't understand it.

So, do I reinstall this thing or what? I'm running 4.0.5

I never made a template edit, do I need to revert? I don't know.
